Red Ibis Figurine

Recognizable by its vibrant plumage, the scarlet ibis is one of the most spectacular birds in South America and the Caribbean. Its long, curved beak allows it to forage in mud and marshes for food.

Its intense red color comes from its diet, rich in small crustaceans containing natural pigments called carotenoids. An astonishing fact: scarlet ibises often move in groups and form true colorful clouds when they take flight, offering an impressive spectacle. They also play an important role in wetlands by regulating populations of crabs and aquatic insects.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the scarlet ibis: finely sculpted plumage, curved beak, and slender silhouette. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories, or raise children's awareness of the beauty and ecological importance of marsh birds.
